Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

"I believe in Liaotian."

Of the two young masters of Tiandu, Liaotian is more like Wujun in both appearance and personality. Everyone knows that Tiandu's assets will be handed over to Liaotian sooner or later.

If something were to happen to Liaotian, no one could imagine how Wujun would feel.

Wu Jun's expression remained unchanged: "We will use Tiandu as the center and conduct a carpet search in four directions. The Giant Demon God is such a huge creature that it will definitely leave traces whenever it appears."

"Yes!"

Chao Yizhu was very uneasy: "I'm sorry, if Qing Shuangtai and I hadn't come here, this wouldn't have happened, young master."

"Don't blame yourself, this was purely an accident... Is Buwu Donghuang dead?"

Chao Yizhu shook his head: "At that time, the situation at Qing Shuangtai was critical, and I couldn't afford to fight him, so I left Panlong Peak. He was hit in the chest by Qing Shuangtai's sword, but with his cunning, he won't die so easily."

Bu Wu Donghuang, who wasn't supposed to die so easily, is really dead.

After Chao Yizhu left, he also left Panlong Peak. With his identity exposed, he naturally needed to find a more secluded place to recuperate.

Halfway through the journey, an extremely beautiful young woman walked towards them.

A fragrant breeze wafted by as we passed each other.

Although Bu Wudonghuang was on guard, he passed by the girl in an instant without any conflict.

After taking a few more steps, Bu Wu Donghuang suddenly staggered and collapsed, vomiting thick black blood.

"It's poison! Such a potent poison!"

The girl, who had already walked away, turned around gently and returned to Bu Wudonghuang's side.

She squatted down and laughed, "How about it? The Three Soul-Binding Techniques were meticulously crafted by the Poison Queen of Tushan. Apart from her, no one in the world can cure it."

"The Poison Queen? You, who are you?"

The girl still smiled sweetly, but her words were more shocking to Emperor Qi than poison: "Donghuang Buwu, if it weren't for you manipulating the Death Forbidden Technique behind the scenes back then, Ouyang Jin wouldn't have died, and I wouldn't have lost my mother."

"You are Ouyang Jin's daughter? I am your uncle! Please save me!"

"Uncle? Hmph, even if he were my own father, I would still kill him!"

The girl stood up and walked away gracefully. Bu Wu Donghuang covered his throat in resentment, letting out a painful groan.

The poison quickly entered his brain, and there was no way to save him. This extraordinary martial arts talent died in the desolate forest.

jingle.

jingle.

The sound of bells echoed as a swordsman with disheveled hair walked over, bent down, and carried away the body of Bu Wu Donghuang.

The setting sun casts its last rays upon the towering yellow sand.

A new grave has been added to the cemetery below the tower, where the swordsman buried Bu Wudonghuang.

"Emperor Qi, I will bury you, Hen Qiangu, and my son together. You may travel with Hen Qiangu in the underworld. If you see my son, please tell him that his father has never forgotten him."

The bells chimed softly, then faded away with the wind.

Just after the swordsman left, as the moon rose, a bolt of lightning struck Xinlei's grave without warning, instantly raising dust and shattering the tombstone.

The blackened corpse of Emperor Qi Taizu was exposed.

Suddenly, a fierce wind arose, the tower bells rang wildly, and strange auras surged out from Qi Taizu's body and into the depths of the earth.

The cracked grave was like the earth's open mouth, constantly absorbing these energies.

After a long time, the last breath dissipated, and Qi Taizu lost all his flesh and blood, leaving only a pale skeleton.

At this moment, in the distant Northern Sea Spirit Continent, a powerful ruler who looked remarkably like Qi Taizu seemed to sense something and sighed to the moon: "I never thought you would die so easily."

At the same time, Liao Tian was nearly exhausted from running.

He declined Ji Wuxia's help and insisted on tracking it himself. Starting from Xiwulin, the giant demon god flew randomly, changing its route several times. The two of them chased it for at least three thousand miles.

The internal energy required for flying in light is considerable, and Liao Tian's true energy has been exhausted to its limit.

Looking at the resilient young man, Ji Wuxia felt a mixture of admiration and pity: "Stop for a moment. It's hiding in the clouds under the cover of night, and we can't chase it anymore."

Liao Tian clenched his fists, his face filled with indignation: "Along its journey, it destroyed three villages and killed more than a thousand people!"

“I understand how you feel, but you are not only exhausted, but your wounds are still bleeding. Even if we catch up, we will not be able to defeat it.”

"At least we can drive it away and prevent civilian casualties."

The two chased after the troll god, and whenever it lowered its altitude, Ji Wuxia would draw her sword.

That sword, tinged with crimson in its ink, is called the Tai Ruo Mountain Sword. With a single strike, it can cleave the heavens and cleave the earth. Furthermore, the icy power within its sword energy can instantly solidify the fleshy wings of a giant demon god, preventing it from crashing into the ground.

Liao Tian then took the opportunity to evacuate nearby villagers or use his King Tree spiritual power to heal the seriously injured.

After several chases and battles, the giant demon was also badly injured and developed a fear of the two. Under the cover of night, it hid in the clouds.

The two sat down in the wilderness and lit a campfire.

"I'll bandage it for you."

Ji Wuxia took off her cloak, tore it into several strips, and wrapped them around Liaotian's wound.

"Thank you, I'm fine."

“Your constitution is very special. If an ordinary person were subjected to such extreme lightning power, their body would be burned, but you only bleed normally. I observe that there is no lightning left in your body.”

"I have mastered the Book of Life and am protected by the spiritual power of the King Tree of the Shattered Island."

Ji Wuxia looked curious: "What is the Scroll of Life? What is the King Tree?"

"The Scroll of Life is a martial art from the Slaughtering Isle of the Four Realms, details are as follows..."

After hearing the story of the Four Realms, Ji Wuxia became even more curious: "So there are other worlds beyond the Bitter Realm. I must visit them another day."

Liao Tian was equally curious. Ji Wuxia's martial arts skills were extraordinary, so why had he never heard his father and mother mention such a person?

“Sister Ji, if you don’t know about the Four Realms, do you know about Tiandu? My father is Luo Hou, the lord of Tiandu.”

"Tiandu?"

Ji Wuxia shook her head again: "I have never heard of it."

“Sister Ji, then you must be a hermit, living in seclusion and cultivating yourself for many years.”

Ji Wuxia tried her best to recall her past, but her mind was completely blank.

"I'm sorry, I only remember my own name, nothing else."

"It's alright. From now on, besides Ji Wuxia, you'll know another name, and that is Wu—Liaotian."

"Ha, Liaotian, I'll remember that."

“Ji Wuxia, I will remember that too.”

"Liaotian, why don't I send you back to Tiandu? Your parents must be very worried right now."

Liao Tian rejected the proposal:

“If we return to Tiandu first, we will lose track of this monster and cause even greater casualties. Moreover, with the power of Tiandu, they will definitely be able to find this monster, and finding the monster will lead them to me.”

"That makes sense. I didn't expect you to be so decisive at such a young age."

Liao Tian was a little embarrassed: "I only dared to act riskily because Sister Ji protected me. Sister Ji's chivalrous heart is truly something I should learn from."

"Hahahaha! Ji Wuxia only wants to be a free-spirited swordsman in this life."

"Then I shall become a swordsman."

The two chatted casually, one an amnesiac female warrior and the other a composed young man, with no communication barriers. In fact, Liao Tian did most of the talking.

The night wind came and went, blowing through the branches and leaves in the forest.

The campfire flickered, illuminating the faces of the two people.

"I have the heart to rule the world, yet I lose a stroke of affection. My landscapes are reflected in your brows; would you be willing to be part of my painting... So, your aunt still hasn't accepted Uncle Nanfeng's marriage proposal?"

"My aunt is very stubborn."

Ji Wuxia seemed thoughtful: "This is not stubbornness."

Liao Tian scratched his head. This was not a field he could understand. He had simply repeated his Uncle Huang Quan's usual complaints to Ji Wuxia.

"what is that?"

"There is no one better than you in the world."

"Sorry, I don't really understand."

Ji Wuxia couldn't help but laugh: "You're still young."

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and flames shot up, followed by a strange murmur echoing through the desolate forest:

“Silent color is difficult to obtain; the mind seeks profit; the breath of the Bo Ye is released; the body is saddened by delusion.”

"A familiar voice... a terrifying voice... I don't want to go back, my head hurts so much!"

Amidst the constant low moans, Ji Wuxia clutched her head and cried out in pain.

"Sister Ji! Sister Ji! Drink~"

Seeing that things were going badly, Liao Tian shoved all the true essence he had just recovered into Ji Wuxia's back. Instantly, the inner energy carrying the sacred aura of the King Tree and the true essence of the Three Extremes entered and suppressed the strange voice.

"I……"

The impact of multiple forces caused Ji Wuxia to faint.

Liao Tian hurriedly helped her up, checked her wrist, and then placed his hand under her nose. Seeing that her pulse and breathing were normal, he was relieved.

He sat cross-legged and rested Ji Wuxia's head on his lap.

"Don't worry, Sister Ji. I won't allow anyone to hurt you until you wake up."

Chapter 221 Counting the Four Wonders and Characters, and Watching the Ancient Tomb Fade Away with Smoke

Tiandu's tracking efficiency is not bad. Within two hours of the Giant Demon God rushing into the lower realm, Luo Hou and Yu Cixin will arrive at the original location.

But every time they arrived, they found nothing.

According to witnesses, the person with Liao Tian was a female knight-errant with profound martial arts skills; the two were fighting monsters and rescuing people.
